How much ram do you have? What video card do you have, What is your processor? Why do you load jaws after start up instead of having it load automatically? I may be able to help and it may be none of these but a resource issue, but we need to dig a little. Also, you might want to drop a note to freedom to see if they have any ideas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Badih Zeinoun" <badihz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Blind Technology List" <blindtech@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "jfw mailing list" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Visually Impaired Computer Users' Group List" <vicug-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Access to GUI via Speech" <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 3:02 AM Subject: Problem with jaws 4.50 whenever my system is started. Good morning for you listers from Lebanon! Whenever I start my system with jaws4.50 loaded and I press the windows key no matter which one to access the start menu, my system locks completely and the following message appears on the screen: This programme has performed an illegal operation and will be shutdown. If the problem persists, contact the programme vendor close button. Nothing happens if I press the close button, the system continues locking then I restart my system. To recover this problem, when my system is started, I unload jaws then reload it using the shortcut key I created for that purpose then the programme works as it should be. If I starte my system and went to work with another application say outlook express for some minutes then after that I press the windows key, the programme works as it should be. Have you any suggestion which enables me to recover this problem other than trying to uninstall then reinstall the copy again? Note that my windows98 second edition is newly installed from scratch if that matters. Any anticipated suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
